Getting roof down while driving???

I would start working on the excuse to give to the dealer when trying to get it fixed. How about this one..."Honestly, I don't know what happened. My brakes failed

I would start working on the excuse to give to the dealer when trying to get it fixed.

How about this one..."Honestly, I don't know what happened. My brakes failed and I thought I would raise the roof and use it as a parachute. I was only doing 50 mph. All of a sudden, it was gone . Have you seen this before, Mr. dealer?. What do you mean it's not covered under warranty "

How's that sound...

I really had a laugh You all have point... But I am not crazy and NO I will not use my fold-able roof as parachute Just is it possible or not? What about other car manufactures that have fold-able roof while driving?

Default Smart top

There is a mod that you can do called smart top that will let you set a max speed that you can be moving and still operate the top. Personally, with all of the problems that can pop up with the vert tops I would not do this while under warranty. Very appealing mod.
